Frances Sweetlove 1827

*This freebie offer has ended, thank you*

To celebrate the end of Sampler September and the start of my birthday month, I would like to make my new reproduction sampler, Frances Sweetlove 1827, available for free download until the end of October ❤! 

Frances Sweetlove is an English sampler. Besides several alphabets, this sampler has an interesting band made up of Zodiac and planetary symbols! It is stitched in two colors - most of it in a dark teal, but there is also a bit of greenish black, possibly where Frances ran out of teal thread. I picked out Classic Colorworks Erin Go Emerald and GAST Raven, but you can chose any colors you prefer.

There is an eyelet alphabet and a four-sided stitch alphabet. Those can be stitched as regular cross stitches instead if you like.

And here is a mockup as a red sampler, my favorite! Wouldn't this be stunning all year, but especially "sweet" for Valentine's Day?

P.S. Watch out for the 15th "I" in the first row. Frances did not follow her regular spacing!
